About this title

Synopsis:

This engaging new text, which serves as an introduction to the subject of US foreign policy, explores both the history and the complex issues confronting America today.The issues raised by the Iraq War are symptomatic of larger phenomena that will continue to preoccupy American foreign policy makers in the early twenty-first century. The War on Terror, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, humanitarian intervention and a litany of other concerns on the foreign policy agenda pose complex dilemmas for which there are no simple answers. Through lucid, lively analysis, "US Foreign Policy in the Twenty-First Century" explores the difficult choice that confront he United States today in a complicated and often dangerous post-Cold War environment.Author J Martin Rochester engages students new to the subject in an intelligent examination of American foreign policy past, present and future, involving them in critical thinking about how foreign policy is made, what factors affect foreign policy decisions and behaviour, and how one might go about not only describing and explaining foreign policy but also evaluating it and prescribing solutions.

Written in a lively and accessible style, it is illustrated throughout with photos and cartoons, and further enhanced with case studies, examples and discussion questions for each chapter.
